Advantages: Easy to ride and affordable Disadvantages: None that I can think of
...very comfortable on was the Apollo Fs.26 17" full suspension for ladies. This bicycle felt really nice in particular. .
Ordering it was easy and simple. I was told I can get the bicycle ready assembled the next day which I decided to come and pick it up myself.
The next day I came to pick it up. My bicycle was already assembled and the lovely staff helped us get it down the stairs.
Learning to ride at 26 years
First I have to say that there ... ...to learn the hard way.
Well now I had my bicycle and I had to learn on how to ride it so I went down my local park where there is are the most amazing cycling paths ever. For anyone that learns to ride a bicycle I want to say that is the most easy thing ever. It took me an hour and a half to learn the balance in order to ride on my own. I learn by holding on my husband, he was walking sideways while I was pedalling, before I knew it I was doing ...
I bought the 2008 version of this exact bike from Halfords. Everything on this bike is the same apart from the paintwork. I had a bad accident on my 'Apollo XC 26'. I was riding down a mild hill and my back wheel locked due to the cheap and flimsy V-brake. I went straight over the handlebars and shattered my collar bone. Also the chain was coming of practically every time I rode it. In my opinion the bike is comprised of cheap components, as it's ...

Review of Apollo XC.26
Advantages: Great fun, 'do anything' Disadvantages: Poor customer service
...I regret having bought the Kona with its reasonable weight and specification, it certainly seemed to perform pretty well off-road. My Stinky is now a couple of years old and this is the model which I will review although I can say that the newer model does strike me as being of a much higher spec and better value for money.
So, I bought my Kona and the first thing I did was upgrade it from v-brakes to disk brakes (come as standard now) and the bike ... ...having taken a test ride on two or three of your favourites...
If you would like more detail then the Kona website at www.konaworld.co.uk is fantastic and if you’d like any personal info regarding opinions etc feel free to leave a message in my guest book.
Happy riding… ...

Review of Kona Stinky
Advantages: Sturdy reliable and fast than a car arround town Disadvantages: None
Having just completed 1000 mile Lands End- John Ogroats on a super galaxy I can do nothing but praise it. Before starting the trip it was about 3yrs old and had been cycled hard. I made some slight modifications an put on spd cleats, suspention seat post and Terrys saddle and Panracer kevlar slik tyres. I cycled through some appalling weather but the bike was as fresh when I finished as when I started.
None of the spoks loosened and when cycling ...
Advantages: Great ride Disadvantages: Cut corners on some componentry
From the first moment you step astride this bike you will want one . Althogh the frame is a little on the thin side it has that typical cromoly feel to it . The bike has lots of great componentry on board and so you will feel like a pro. The chainset is good value for the price of the bike . Paying this sort of amount of money on a bike I would expect to see Shimano XT or something better the forks Jett xc's are a fab set of cross country forks and ...
